Job description

Overview

Machinist — LAD Engineering | Lansing, MI | $19–$32/hr

Most CNC shops will hire you to run a machine and never expect anything else from you.

That\'s not what this is.

LAD Engineering is a precision CNC job shop running ISO 9001:2015. We make parts for government contractors and manufacturers, and what they buy from us has to be right — because the programs they\'re running can\'t absorb a bad part.

We\'re hiring a machinist now. In two or three years, we want that person reviewing quotes and running the schedule.

The Path

Here\'s what the comp looks like and when it kicks in.

• Machinist – Training (Months 1–3): $19–$21/hr. You\'re learning how we do things — how we set up, how we document, what we expect on a finished part.
• Machinist – Performing (Month 3+): $21–$24/hr plus performance incentives. You\'re running jobs on your own. The incentives pay out on parts that ship on time and don\'t come back.
• Machinist – Senior (Month 12+): $24–$26/hr plus incentives. Top earners at this level clear $28–$30/hr.
• Lead Machinist (when you\'ve earned it): $26–$32/hr plus incentives. Reviewing quotes, owning the schedule, training newer machinists, and still on a machine when the work demands it.

If you\'re not moving along this path, we\'re not the right shop for you long-term. We\'d rather tell you that up front than two years in.
